How to Grow Perennial Vegetables by Martin Crawford
Perennial vegetables are a joy to grow. Almost no digging and with a long harvesting season, they are the lazy but clever way to garden and take care of the soil at the same time.
This lovely book makes it clear that we are not just missing a trick, we are missing a feast* Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall *
At last an in-depth book on perennial vegetables combined with Martin Crawford's usual diligence of research - essential reading. * Ben Law *
A lot of information is packed into a relatively short space… Lots of the plants listed were new to me entirely, or as an edible possibility. Now I’m not only thinking where edible perennials may fit on my allotment, but also in my garden too! This is an informative and detailed book, which I shall be returning to again and again. * vegplotting.blogspot *
I admire tremendously the first-hand experience which informs Martin Crawford's writing. This book leads us down the path to a wealth of perennial vegetables and tells us how to combine them successfully. * Anne Swithinbank *
A really useful book... Let us start freeing ourselves from the tyranny of the annual sowing, thinning and planting regime. * Bob Flowerdew *

Martin Crawford has had broad and varied horticultural/agricultural experience over the years – experience that led him to the concept of forest gardening as a sustainable system that can flourish in our changing climate conditions. This led to the founding of the Agroforestry Research Trust, a non-profit-making charity that researches temperate agroforestry and all aspects of plant cropping and uses, with a focus on tree, shrub and perennial crops. At his forest garden in Dartington, Devon, Martin systematically researches plant interactions and unusual crops. He also runs a commercial tree nursery specialising in unusual trees and shrubs, and has a large trial site, researching fruit and nut trees.
